Life with Rona — Day 34

Up early, to do some national service — joined the Digital Penang initiative to think of ways to hack our way through modernisation thanks to the coronavirus. Breakfast was frittatas, lunch was indomee with condiments, and dinner was a burger with ice cream for dessert. Been a busy work day (1.20am, and I’m just signing off).

Malaysia’s Covid-19 situation is interesting — they are talking about a “soft-landing” approach to remove the MCO (basically saying social distancing has to continue, duh). But there is also plans for Ramadan early morning deliveries, though there are so few days under the current MCO that fall during Ramadan, which makes me wonder if this is a signal that they will extend it out of plain stupidity? Stats: 5,425 (+36) cases, recoveries 3,295 (+98), no deaths (stable, 89).

We’ve had the Selayang market area end up being under an enhanced MCO, “Northern KL”, where there are lots of Rohingya refugees. Singapore closed McDonalds nationwide; but also found that a bunch of their employees at various stores were positive for Covid-19.
